Since retiring from ASU, Roger Adelson has traveled around the world and has brought back different viewpoints comparing events in the contemporary Middle East with those in other countries.

During this event, ASU Professor Emeritus Roger Adelson will compare current events in the Middle East with happenings elsewhere in Africa and Asia, illustrating his observations with stories from travels through Canada, Latin America and Eastern Europe since retiring from ASU in June 2010.

Chair of over 30 honor's, master's and doctoral committees, he has received awards for outstanding teaching and mentoring from the history department, the honors college, the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, ASU and Advanced Placement.

Early in 2012, Adelson was invited to give a public lecture at Oxford University's Middle East Centre entitled Truman to Bush: The Impact of the Middle East upon the U.S. Presidency from 1945 to 2009, the topic for a book-length essay he is now writing.
He recently finished his manuscript on Winston Churchill and the Middle East from 1905-1955, and published an article, British and U.S. Use and Misuse of the Term, 'Middle East', in Is There a Middle East?
The Evolution of a Concept.
Adelson continues what he calls his "global odyssey" in 2013, when he will visit Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia, Australasia, and South, Central and Western Asia.

Special attention will be given to how the new oil wealth of the Persian Gulf became a powerful magnet and the main arena for what Professor Adelson calls the Oil Wars, which eclipsed the Cold War and the Arab-Israeli-Palestinian Conflicts.

The lecture will wrap up with a look at the policies of the George W. Bush administration toward the Middle East since Sept. 11, 2001, and focus on how the Anglo-American legacy is currently viewed by Arabs, Israelis, Persians, Turks, Brits and Americans.
